the_o parliament_n but_o because_o he_o dare_v not_o wreak_v his_o malice_n where_o he_o will_v he_o do_v it_o where_o he_o dare_v but_o when_o all_o be_v do_v sir_n i_o believe_v this_o author_n

the_o next_o time_n he_o come_v up_o to_o the_o session_n of_o parliament_n to_o publish_v a_o comment_n on_o the_o 38th_o chap._n of_o job_n and_o therein_o to_o let_v we_o know_v that_o though_o

so_o much_o of_o the_o creation_n as_o to_o convince_v we_o that_o he_o make_v we_o when_o we_o be_v nothing_o and_o it_o be_v enough_o in_o the_o work_n of_o the_o redemption_n to_o let_v we_o know_v that_o he_o redeem_v we_o when_o we_o be_v lose_v and_o from_o both_o to_o give_v mankind_n a_o full_a demonstration_n of_o his_o infinite_a power_n and_o wisdom_n of_o his_o unspeakable_a goodness_n and_o love_n to_o they_o and_o by_o consequence_n the_o eternal_a obligation_n they_o lie_v under_o to_o love_v he_o again_o and_o obey_v he_o and_o therefore_o though_o i_o be_o not_o able_a sully_v
